Even Greater Mistakes by Charlie Jane Anders

Even Greater Mistakes by Charlie Jane Anders

In her short story collection, Even Greater Mistakes, Charlie Jane Anders upends genre cliches and revitalizes classic tropes with heartfelt and pants-wettingly funny social commentary.

The woman who can see all possible futures is dating the man who can see the one and only foreordained future.

A wildly popular slapstick filmmaker is drawn, against his better judgment, into working with a fascist militia, against a background of social collapse.

Two friends must embark on an Epic Quest To Capture The Weapon That Threatens The Galaxy, or else they'll never achieve their dream of opening a restaurant.

The stories in this collection, by their very outrageousness, achieve a heightened realism unlike any other. Anders once again proves she is one of the strongest voices in modern science fiction, the writer called by Andrew Sean Greer, "this generation's Le Guin."

Charlie Jane Anders is the author of the young-adult Unstoppable trilogy's first book, Victories Greater Than Death, as well as the short story collection Even Greater Errors. The City in the Heart of the Night and All the Birds in the Sky are two of her other works. Her work has appeared in publications such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, Slate, McSweeney's, Mother Jones, the Boston Review, Tor.com, Tin House, Conjunctions, and Wired Magazine. In its first week, her TED Talk, Go Ahead, Dream About the Future, had 700,000 views. She co-hosts the podcast Our Views Are Right with Annalee Newitz.
